The grim chateau of Beaucastel casts its shadow over the lives of all the slaves who enter its portals. In its cellars and dungeons they undergo training which will forever bind them to their masters and mistresses. But for Verena and Marina, it holds a very different destiny. When they pass through the doors of Beaucastel, nothing will ever be the same for them again. Caroline Swift writes with an intimate knowledge of the lives of wealthy and cosmopolitan dominants, and draws the reader into a world that is unforgettably erotic. Beaucastel will take its rightful place as a classic of its kind.
